    • About Me

      I am a 33 year old mother of six who was just diagnosed with Bipolar last week. I also have OCD and mild depression. Looking back I would say I have been sick for about 10 years. I hit rock bottom last week when I had decided I was going to kill myself when the kids left for school. I had it planned down even to the towels I would wrap myself in to minimize the blood splatter. I was admitted to a psychiatric treatment program where I spent a week on medication trial and adjustment and learned coping techniques. I am just looking to learn and grow with knowledge about my disease.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I am in weekly counseling.
      Lexapro Working / Worked
      I take 10 mg daily. It is used to treat GAD however it seems to cause anxiety for me so I take Ativan with it to minimize the effect.
      Geodon Working / Worked
      The Geodon seems to be helping. Some days are better than others.
